Good Timing: 6-7 Mickey Mitchell Cleared to Play Against Us Tomorrow

[Smashcat]

Help is on the way though, Buckeye fans.

Freshman forward Mickey Mitchell has been cleared to play by the NCAA, according to the school's athletic director Gene Smith. He'll be available to play on Saturday as Ohio State takes on Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The 6-foot-7 Mitchell had been forced to sit out the first 10 games of Ohio State's season while the NCAA investigated a matter that was not related to academics, according to coach Thad Matta. For his part, Mitchell seems excited to be able to get on the floor to help his team

Surprise, surprise the day before they play UK. it's his first game though so I doubt he will do much against UK since he will be too green.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

It wont matter.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Who gives a crap. I doubt this scrub is any good and will do anything to us.

 

[Jazzycat]

Interesting....

 

[Sithlyone]

Interesting....

 

[jarms24]

[TexKat]

The dude has a hairbun like noah did. Just have to make reply with the Wood chopper's debut

 

[loublue22]

What a coincidence

 

[UKhoopCat]

When will these teams learn to schedule UK earlier in the season to get their players cleared sooner?

UK playing them has nothing to do with clearing him , Mickey Mitchell is a 100-150 recruit, if he beats us, we have big problems.

Coach Cal briefly recruited him. Surprised he's in that range.

 

[Stonewall12]

He played on same aau team as Randle in Texas. He is pretty old.

 

[FFWhite]

Randle would only be a junior.

Is he good?

He was all over the place with his ranking, from top 50 to barely top 150 depending on the different recruiting services. I've read that he's a real heady, high iq type with a decent shot but not much of an athlete.

Surely you know sarcasm when you see it...no?

Yea.. I know

I think he was once a top-10 guy then had some injury issues. Acl or something like that.

 

[Stonewall12]

He is 20 years old.

 

[Teachable Moe]

End of semester. No conspiracy required.

 

[pharm727]

I don't think it matters. I say UK by 15!

 

[UKrazycat2]

Wez ain't skeert of no dayum Mickey Mouse.

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

He was good for a week his soph year then faded as others caught up and blew by him.

Was talking to a dude named LEK on the Paddock. He said would lose tomorrow due to this.

His parents did the HS redshirt thing, so he was always older than the guys he was playing against, and he was physically advanced anyway. Other players started to catch up to him as they grew into their bodies, and his rating dropped like a rock.

He is a nice passer for a guy that size, and a solid athlete, but he can't shoot.

Describes my wife. Good reason to marry, but not much resume for basketball.

 

[UK90]

I swear this guy gets talked about more than any low ranked three star recruit ever. How many threads have there been about him over the years? He was one of those youtube sensations that turned out not to be that good in real life.

I hate to be the grammar police but there is no such word as skeert. It's a'skeert. As in we ain't a'skeert of . . .

Now don't argue with me, I hold advanced degrees in 2 separate redneck dialects but I don't play one on TV.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Classic response.

 

[Dakota25]

I just went to buckeyeplanet.com and they had a thread on him which linked his recruiting rankings. Rivals has him as a 3 star, scout and ESPN each have him as a four star. Humphries and Willis are both better than he is and our starting front court is much better. So nothing to fear especially since this is also his first game. Also the OSU fans on buckeye planet seem to be consenting a loss if you were curious.
